Idris Elba will replace Jamie Foxx alongside Benicio Del Toro in Harmony Korine’s “The Trap,” which will co-star Robert Pattinson, James Franco and Al Pacino. Focus Features is in negotiations to acquire U.S. rights to the film, an individual with knowledge of the pending deal has told TheWrap.

A representative for Focus declined to comment.

Set against the backdrop of the Miami music scene, “The Trap” finds Del Toro playing an ex-con out for revenge against a gangster rapper and former friend (Elba) who let him take the fall for a robbery they committed 14 years earlier.

Franco will play Elba’s drug-addled manager, while Pacino will play Del Toro’s parole officer. Pattinson will play a surfer who helps Del Toro exact revenge.

E! News has exclusively learned that Twilight star Judith Shekoni has joined the cast of Heroes Reborn.

Shekoni has landed a series regular role in the rebooted event series, although details of who she’ll be playing are being kept under wraps at this time…just like every other new character joining the show.

The British actress is best known for her role in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 as Zafrina, the leader of the Amazonian vampires. She also recently guest starred on an episode of Backstrom.

At long last, American audiences will soon be able to see Clouds of Sils Maria, the sexy showbiz drama that won Kristen Stewart so much acclaim after it opened in Europe during the recent awards season. Stewart plays the personal assistant to a famous but aging movie star (Juliette Binoche), who agrees to star in a revival of the play that made her famous. However, this time around, 20 years later, she’s playing the elder female character who is driven to suicide by a young female lover, while Hollywood’s brash new ingenue (Chloë Grace Moretz) slips into the younger star-making role.

Directed by Olivier Assayas (Carlos), Sils Maria was nominated for six César Awards—the French Academy Awards—and Stewart became the first American actress even to win a César for her supporting performance. Her ever-loyal character finds her professional and personal relationship to her boss complicated by her admiration for the young Hollywood starlet. In this scene from the film, she explains the magnitude of the ingenue’s stardom—which is amplified by the multitude of pre-teens who gobble up details of her personal life—to her unimpressed boss. The irony is pretty thick, coming from Stewart, and deftly delivered.

EXCLUSIVE: Woody Allen has begun casting his 2015 feature film, and he has set Jesse Eisenberg, Bruce Willis and Kristen Stewart to lead the ensemble, I’m told. No comment from the Allen camp. As usual, the film is untitled and there are no plot details, and it’s being produced by Letty Arsonson, Stephen Tenenbaum and Edward Walson, his usual collaborators. Allen might be the one director who, when he courts talent, doesn’t really show them a script. Everybody wants to work with him and they consider themselves lucky to be asked and if they’re available, they say yes almost always.

Allen’s next release, Irrational Man, stars Emma stone and Joaquin Phoenix and it will be released by Sony Pictures Classics July 24th. Eisenberg and Willis are repped by CAA, Stewart is repped by Gersh.

EXCLUSIVE: Kristen Stewart has joined Michelle Williams and Laura Dern in the hot indie drama known as the Untitled Kelly Reichardt Project. Written and directed by Reichardt, the film is a series of vignettes that revolve around the lives of people in small-town Montana.

Stewart will play a young lawyer from Boise who takes a teaching job several hours from her house. Despite her nerves about teaching, she’s determined to prove to herself that she can do it. Soon after taking the job, Beth develops a close friendship with Jamie, a local woman who’s auditing her class. James Le Gros and Jared Harris (Mad Men) also have been cast in the ensemble project, which is being produced by Neil Kopp and Anish Savjani. It will shoot on location in Big Sky country.

More details have also emerged about the characters and the story line. Dern is set as Laura Wells, a lawyer in Helena who keeps going back into a bad relationship with Ryan Lewis (Le Gros), a married man who couldn’t care less for his wife and daughter. Williams portrays Ryan’s wife, Gina Lewis, who works in advertising with her philandering husband. Finally, Harris is a former construction worker who was injured in a work-related accident and starts plotting a hostage attempt.

Stewart (Twilight, Still Alice, Snow White And The Huntsman) is repped by Gersh Agency and McKuin, Frankel, Whitehead LLP. Reichardt’s most recent credit is Night Moves, which she directed and co-wrote with Jon Raymond. Jesse Eisenberg and Dakota Fanning starred in that 2013 film. She is repped by UTA.

Adam Sandler, who moved his ensemble comedy The Ridiculous Six from Sony to Paramount, has relocated the film to Netflix as one of the pictures in his groundbreaking deal. The film is now set to begin production in New Mexico through Happy Madison Production, and production will start February in Santa Fe and the surrounding areas.

Sandler will star with Terry Crews, Lost‘s Jorge Garcia, Taylor Lautner, Rob Schneider, Luke Wilson and Nick Nolte. The Wedding Singer‘s Frank Coraci will direct a script by Tim Herlihy and Sandler. Sandler produces with Allen Covert with Barry Bernardi and Heather Parry exec producers. New Mexico is crowing, as the production will employ at least 200 New Mexico crew members and 250 New Mexico actors and local background talent.

Sandler last October made the deal to do four movies he’ll star in for Netflix. These will not be released theatrically; they’re specifically being done for the streaming subscription service.
